Sarkozy Appeal Escalates: French prosecutors have renewed their push to send former President Nicolas Sarkozy back to prison for seven years and fine him €300,000, arguing Libya’s late leader Muammar Gaddafi secretly financed Sarkozy’s 2007 campaign—an appeal that could reshape the case’s political fallout as judges weigh whether to revive charges Sarkozy previously beat. Libya Justice Watch: In The Hague, the ICC is set to hold a confirmation-of-charges hearing May 19–21 for Libyan suspect El Hishri, a milestone HRW says could finally signal accountability after years of impunity. Migration Crackdown: In eastern Libya, authorities say they freed 120 migrants held by traffickers near Benghazi and recovered three bodies from the coast. Oil & Diplomacy: Libya’s government says it has regained full control of the Ras Lanuf refinery, while talks with France focus on investment and trade. Regional Tensions: Turkey’s “Blue Homeland” maritime push is moving through legislation, drawing EU criticism and raising new Aegean/Eastern Mediterranean friction.
